Tetrahydrofuran-based recycling of furan–lignin foams: comparative characterization of regenerated and virgin foams

Proceedings of the Nigerian Society of Physical Sciences
Foams are used widely in furniture, construction, automotive, and related industries because of their mechanical performance and durability. However, the poor recyclability of conventional polyurethane (PU) foams has raised environmental concerns ...

Breaking polyphenol–polysaccharide interactions: the promising role of natural deep eutectic solvents

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Food processing generates substantial amounts of byproducts rich in valuable bioactive compounds, particularly polyphenols, known for their antioxidant, anti‐UV, and antimicrobial properties. These molecules hold great potential in sectors such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Ecosystem retrogression enhances cross‐domain microbial stability and increases the genetic potential for nutrient cycling

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecosystem retrogression drives nutrient depletion, reduced productivity, and profound reorganization of soil microbial communities. Using amplicon sequencing and genome‐resolved metagenomics, we examined how cross‐domain microbial networks and functional gene potential respond to long‐term phosphorus and nitrogen limitation along the well ...

Unsaturated biobased polyesters from bicyclic α‐pinene‐based diols

Polymer International, EarlyView.
We present the synthesis of four biosourced unsaturated polyesters made from chiral terpene‐based diols and esters of renewable diacids. The resulting materials harbor a bicyclic pinene ring in their backbones which leads to enhanced thermal properties while still conferring susceptibility to enzyme hydrolysis for chains having a cis alkene.

Carbonized polymer dots with aqueous‐stable room‐temperature phosphorescence: Mechanism, matrix engineering, and application

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
This review focuses on inorganic and organic matrices that enable aqueous‐stable room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in carbonized polymer dots (CPDs). It explains the underlying RTP mechanisms, highlights how matrix engineering provides spatial confinement and bonding interactions to stabilize triplet excitons in water, and demonstrates key ...
